3 Weeks
Bellona is still doing good. Yesterday Dr. Carlson administered Bellona’s Carbo (Carboplatin) Chemo. Bellona hasn’t showed signs of any side effects from the Chemo and that’s great news to us. In addition to the Chemo Big B is taking Doxycycline and Piroxicam. … Continue reading
Day 20 – Final Pathology results
At Bellona’s Chemo appointment today our vet let us know she received the final pathology results from CSU. Bellona’s Osteosarcoma is of average type. It’s not the most aggressive growing cancer and it appears that we caught it early. Who … Continue reading

Day 15 – Stitches coming out tomorrow
I forgot to mention Bellona is getting her stitches out tomorrow. She’s had bad experiences with incision sites opening up after stitches were removed so we got to leave them in a few extra days to be on the safe side. … Continue reading
Day 15 – Guess what your daughter did?
I received a call from my husband today and he said, “Guess what your daughter did?” That’s a horrible way to open a conversation especially since I’m the emotional type. Of course my mind thinks the wost of things. Bellona … Continue reading
Day 14 – Outside and no leash
Tonight we thought Bellona was up to the challenge and let her go outside in our backyard without a leash. She seemed to be excited to hop around the backyard at her leisure. Actually it took a while to get … Continue reading
